The Harmony Center Fine Art & Craft Fair began in 2010under the guidance and vision of Lynn Carlson a beloved member and practitioner at Harmony Center. It was her dream to marry the arts and the community via her spiritual home.

The first year saw just over twenty vendors and a couple of hundred shoppers. We raised some money for the church and had a lot of fun.

In 2011 the committee grew and so did the fair, but we knew we had a ways to go before reaching Lynn’s vision.

Unfortunately Lynn was unable to continue as the chair of the committee and the reins were handed over to Marilyn and Cynthia McCarty as co-chairs of the 2012 fair.

We are sad to say that early in 2012 we lost our visionary and friend, Lynn Carlson due to health complications. But we were inspired to make 2012 the best fair ever.

The 3rd Annual Fair saw a record number of vendors and buyers as well as a High School Art Contest and Art’s Café (our outdoor food and entertainment center). Under the McCarty sisters the floor plan was revamped to make way for more vendors and we started to gather sponsors for the event. We knew we’d raise more funds so we decided to partner with the Women’s and Children’s Crisis Shelter in order to benefit them as well.

Over 800 people came through our doors in 2012 and our vendors told us that they were happy with the sales they received over the two days. We gave our High School Art Contest winners over $1000 in prizes and the Women’s and Children’s Crisis Shelter a check for $1000 to help with their day to day operations.

2013 & 2014 were even better. We partnered with the Interfaith Food Center and again encouraged local high school students to enter our High School Art Contest.

Please join us at our annual fair on the third weekend in October for two great days of art, crafts, shopping, food, music, and fun while helping us to raise money for our annual charity partner, student, and the Harmony Center. Your support will help us carry on the vision of Lynn Carlson which was to bring together community and the arts.
